The brief description of the Institute’s background and history in part one of this book is taken, almost in its entirety, from ‘St Mary in the Valley: A History of Maryvale’ by Beth Mulvey and from the work of the unnamed authors of the various prospectus booklets issued over the past ten years. I thank them all. I am also most grateful to Bloomsbury Publishing for its permission that enabled this volume to include a contribution from Stephen Yates based on a chapter from his book, ‘Between Death and Resurrection: A Critical Response to Recent Catholic Debate Concerning the Intermediate State’, first published by Bloomsbury Academic US - an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - at the beginning of 2017. Andrew B. Morris - Editor PREFACE Established at Old Oscott in Birmingham, England, in 1980, the Maryvale Institute is an International Catholic Centre of Further and Higher Education for Catechesis, Theology, Philosophy and Religious Education. It provides a variety of part-time and distance learning courses to the lay faithful, consecrated religious and ministers of the Roman Catholic Church. Maryvale’s degree programmes are accredited by external academic partners. Its Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Philosophy and its Masters (MA) in Catholic Tradition are both validated by the Open University. In association with the Faculté Notre Dame of the Ecole Cathédrale in Paris, the Institute provides two ecclesiastical degrees courses, a Bachelor of Divinity and a Licence in Catechetics, while its doctoral research in Catholic Studies is conducted in collaboration with Liverpool Hope University. Successful students receive an award of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the University. To be accepted as a doctoral student, applicants are required to meet the entry requirements of both Liverpool Hope and Maryvale. The first cohort to do so, which included students from the USA as well as the UK, began their four to six year course in 2009. The first two students to graduate did so in 2014. By the end of the current academic year, 2017-18, a total of seventeen students have successfully completed their studies and can place PhD after their names. This first book in a series is concerned with the outcomes of that doctoral research programme. It seeks to both provide an overview of breadth of work by its students – and some members of Maryvale staff - and their contribution to new knowledge in the area of Catholic Studies, a wide field including history, literature, philosophy, spirituality, theology - including pastoral and practical theology - evangelisation, catechesis, religious education and Newman studies. After briefly explaining the background to the Institute’s genesis, its development and the range of its current doctoral research programme, the book presents nine extracts grouped under two main headings. In the first there are edited versions of three theses concerned with different theological and philosophical topics. The second section has six entries describing research into aspects of evangelisation, Aspects of Doctoral Research at the Maryvale International ix Catholic Institute (Volume One) catechesis and religious education. Extracts presenting textual analyses, commentaries and empirical case studies appear in the second volume of doctoral research undertaken at the Maryvale Institute. Combining disparate research into a single manuscript has necessitated some adaption of the various original writing styles to ensure some consistency in presentation. For example, I have used UK English spelling though many students have used other formats depending on their home location. Nevertheless, I have kept, as far as possible, their individual writing styles while attempting to produce a reasonable degree of uniformity in presentation. In doing so I appreciate that my preferences may, in some cases, seem to prevail over that of the author, and for that I apologise. I trust it will not irritate academic or general readers, nor detract from the contents of individual extracts. I must thank all the former students for their agreement in letting me undertake this task. I hope that they will be content with the compromises that I have made in editing their work which, I trust, in no way detracts for the contents of their original contributions to this field of study. Any errors or inaccuracies which may have resulted are my responsibility alone. Andrew B. Morris - Editor CONTRIBUTOR PROFILES Sr Mary Michael Fox is a member of the Dominican Order - also known as the Order of Preachers. As a constitutive part of their vocation, Dominicans have always embraced the life of study realizing that the proclamation of the Gospel requires both a profound understanding of Scripture and Christian tradition, as well as a presentation of the Catholic faith that is intellectually engaging and morally persuasive. Dominican study therefore is always directed toward a mission of preaching, teaching, and salvation of souls. She completed her studies at Maryvale in 2017, and was awarded a PhD for her thesis exploring the reconciling religious
